AI summary

One example may include transmitting data between a client device and a server over a first channel, identifying a transmission rate of the first channel, transmitting additional data between the client device and the server over a second channel, determining whether a transmission rate of the second channel is above or below a transmission rate threshold associated with the first channel, and bonding the first channel with the second channel based on the transmission rate of the second channel being above the transmission rate threshold.
